Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum,
who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is 'The
Square', an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding
them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is
difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian's foolish response to the
theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum's
PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for 'The Square'. The
response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential
crisis.

'The Square' is a
poignant satirical drama reflecting our times - about the sense of community,
moral courage and the affluent person's need for egocentricity in an
increasingly uncertain world. The filmwon
the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, and recently triumphed at the 30th
European Film Awards Ceremony, where it won six „European Oscars“ in total
(Best European Film, Best Comedy, Best Director, Best Screenwriter and Best
Production Designer). It has also been nominated for the Golden Globe Award in
the Best Foreign Film category.
